Answer:

The slope is 5 and the y-intercept is -4.

Explanation:

The slope intercept formula is y=mx+b. 5 is the m and -4 is the b. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So in this case m=5 and b=-4, or in other words the slope is 5 and the y-intercept is (0,-4) (since x=0 for all y-intercepts).
